Brooklyn, Jan.,27.—The Rev. Dr.
T. Do Witt Talmage’sr sennou tliis
morning was on "Slanders Against
Religion Answered." His text was:

SOME MISCONCEPTIONS THAT FILL MEN’S
^ 'A' MINDS.
Suppose now a man had a charmed
key with which he could open all the
jails, ancUhe should open Raymond
Street jail and the New York Tombs
and all the prisons on the continent.
In three weeks what kind of a country
would this be? all tho immates turned
out of those prisons and penitentiaries.
Suppose all the reprobates, the bad
spirits, ;ihe outrageous spirits, should
be turned into tne'New Jerusalem.
Why, the next morning the gates of
pearl would be found off hinge, the
linchpin would be gone out
of the chariot wheels, the “house
of .many mansions" would be burg
larized. Assault and battery, arson,
libertinism and . assassination would
reside in the capital : of the skies.
Angels of God would be insulted on
the streets. Heaven would be a dead
failure if there were no great lock up.
True*bnough, the evan
devours the b&dt, and it be-
comes to him a sweetness during the
mastication, •but afterward a physical
bitterness. , . •
Who the, angel was and what the
.book was no. one can telh The com-
of the ahr and water does not change
the fact in regard -to the composition
of air and water. Because we canuot
understand the Trinity, does that
change the fact? .
& ‘And there is your absurd doctrine
about justification by faith,” say these
antagonists who have chewed up the
little book of evangelism, and have
the consequent embittered stomach—
“justification by faith; you can’t ex
plain it” I can explain it. It is
simplv this: When a man takes the
Lord jesus Christ as his Saviour from'ptUHi
sin, God lets the offender off.
vou have a difference with some one;
16 has injured you; ho apologizes, or
he makes reparation; you say, “Now,
that’s all right, that’s all right.” Justi
fication by faith is this: A man takes
Jesus Christ as his Saviour, and God
says to the man: “Now, .it was all
wrong before, but it is all right now;
it is all right.” That was what made
Martin Luther what he was. Justifi
cation by faith, it is going to conquer
all nations. ' • ; ' j
“There is your absurd doctrine
about regeneration, ” these antagonists
of evangelism say. What : is regene
ration? why, regeneration is recon
struction. Anybody can understand'
that. Have you not seen people who
are all made over again by some wop-
derful influence? In other words,

take and chew up and find a very
Juscious mprsel to their witticism, but
after a while it is to them a great dis
tress. The angel of the church hands
out this little book of evangelism, and
the antagonists of the Christian church
take it onji eat it up, and it makes
them smile at first, but afterward it is
to them a dire dyspepsia.
THE REASONS WHY CREEDS ARE NECES
SARY.
All intelligent people have creeds—
that is, favorite theories which they
have adopted. Political creeds—that
is, theories about tariff, about finance,
about civil servicenibout government
Social creeds—that is, theories abqnt
manners and customsP.nd gyyod neigh
borhood. ASsthctical creeds— that is,
theories about tapestry, about bric-a-
brac, about styles of ornamentation.
Religious creeds — that is, theories
about the Deity, about the soul, about
the great future. Tho only being who
has no creed about anything is the
idiot This scoffing against creeds is
always a sign of profound ignorance
on the part of the scoffer^ for he has
himseii a hundred creeds in regard to
other things. In our time tne be
liefs of evangelistic churches are
under a fusillade of caricature and
misrepresentation. Men set up what
they call orthodox faith, and then they
rake it with the musketry of their de
nunciation. They falsity what tho
Christian churches believe. They take
evangelical doctrines and set them in
a harsh and repulsive way, and put
them out of the association with other
truths. They are like a mad anatomist
who, desiring to tell whai a man is,
dissects a human body and hangs up
in one place the heart, and in another
place- tne two lungs, and in another
place an ankle bone, apd says that is a
man. They are only fragments of a
man wrenched out of their God ap
pointed places.
Evangelical religion is a healthy,
symmetrical, well jointed, roseate,
bounding life, and the scalpel and the
dissecting knife of tbe infidel or the
atheist cannot tell you what it is.'
Evangelical religion is as different
from \yhat it is represented to be by
these enemies as the scarecrow which
a farmer puts in: the cornfield to keep
off the ravens is different from tho
farmer himself.
For instance, these enemies of evan
gelism Bay that the Presbyterian
church believes that God is a savage
sovereign, and that he made some men
just to damn them, and that there are
infants in hell a span long. These old
slanders come down from generation
to generation. Tho Presbyterian
clmrch believes no such thing. The
Presbyterian church believes that God
is a loving and just sovereign, and
that we are free 'agents. “No, nol
that cannot be,” say these xpen who
have chewed up the creed and have
the consequent embittered stomachs.
‘‘That is impossible; if God is a sover
eign, we can’t be free agents.” Why,
my friends, we admit this in every
other direction. I, Do Witt Talmage,
am a free citizen of Brooklyn. I go
when I please and I come when I
please, but I have at least four sover
eigns. The church court of our de
nomination ; that is my ecclesiastical
sovereign. The mayor of this city; he
is my .municipal sovereign. The gov
ernor of New York; lie is my state
sovereign. The president of the
. United States; lie is my na
tional sovereign. Four sovereigns
have I, and yet in every faculty
of body, mind and soul I am a fro
man. So, you see, it is possible that
the two doctrines go side by side, and
there is a common sense way of pre
senting it, and there is a way that is
repulsive.. If you have tho two doc
trines in a worldly direction, why not
in a religious direction? If I choose
to-morrow morning to walk into
the Mercantile library and im
prove my mind, or to go through the
go right into glory-rl wonder if in the
temple of the skies Charles Guiteau
and John ; Wilkes Bopth occupy the
some pew l Your popunou sense de
mands two destinies! And then as to
the Presbyterian church believing
there are infants in perdition, if you
will bring rae a Presbyterian of good
morals arid sound mind who will say
that be believes there ever was a babv
in the lost world, or ever will be, 1
will make him a deed . to the house I
live in and he can take possession to
morrow.'
So the Episcopalian church is mis
represented by tne enemies of evangel
ism. They say that church substi
tutes forms and ceremonies for heart
religion, and it is all a matter of lit
urgy and genuflexion. False'again.
All Episcopalians Will tell yoti that
the forms and creeds of their church
are-, worso than nothing unless the
heart go With them. • ■■
So also the Baptist church has been
misrepresented. Tbe enemies of evan
gelism say the Baptist church believes
that unless a man is immersed lie will
never get into heaven. False again.
All the Baptists, close communion and
open communion, bclievc>that if a man
accept the Lord Jesus Christ lie will
be saved, whether he be baptized by
one drop of water on the forehead, or
be plunged into the Ohio or Susque
hanna, although immersion is the
only gate by which one enters their
earthly communion.
The enemies of evangelism also mis
represent the Methodist church. They
say the Methodist church believes that
a man can convert himself, and that
conversion in that church is a tempo
rary emotion, and that all a man has to
do is to kneel down at the .altar and
feci bad and then the minister pats
him on the back and says: “It is all
right,” and that is all there is of it.
False again. Thq Methodist church
believes that the Holy Ghost alone
can convert a heart, and in tliat
church _ conversion is an earthquake
of conviction and a sunburst of par
don. And as to, mere “temporary
emotion,” I wish we all had
more of the “temporary emo
tion” which lasted Bishop Janes
and Matthew Simpson for a half cen
tury, keeping them on fire for God
until their holy enthusiasm consumed
their bodies.
IT IS THE . IGNORANT MAN WHO DISBE
LIEVES.
So all the evangelical denominations
are misrepresented. And then these
enemies of evangelism go on and hold
up tho great doctrines of Christian
churches as absurd, dry and inexplica
ble technicalities. “There is your
doctrine of the Trinity,” they say.
“Absurd beyond all bounds. The
idea that there is a God in three per
sons 1 Impossible! If it is oncGo.u b
can't be three,, and if there are three
they can’t be one.” At the same time
all of us—they with us—acknowledge
trinities all around us. Trinity in our
own make up —body, mind, soul.
Body, With which we move, mind
with which wc think, soul with which
we love. Three, yet one mau. Trinity
in the air—light, heat, moisture—yet
one atmosphere. Trinity in tbe court
room—three judges on the bench, but
one court. Trinities all around about
us, in earthly government and in na
ture. Of course, all the illustrations
are defective for the reason that
the natural cannot fully illustrate the
spiritual. But suppose an ignorant
mail should come up to a chemist and
say: “I deny what you say about the
water and about the air; they are not
made of different parts. The air is
one; I breathe it every day. The
water is one; I drink it every day.
You can’t deceive me about the ele
ments that go to make up the air and
tho water.” The chemist would say:
“You come up into my laboratory and
I will demonstrate tliis whole thing
to you.” Tho ignorant man goes into
the chemist’s laboratory, and sees for
himself. He learns that the water is
one and the air is one, but they are
made up of different parts. So
here is a man who says: “I can’t
understand tho doctrine of the
Trinity.” God says: “You come
up here into tbe laboratory after your
death, and you will see—you will see
it explained, you will see it demon
strated.” The ignorant man cannot
understand the chemistry of the water
and the air until he goes into the la
boratory, and we will never under
stand the Trinity until we go into
heaven. The ignorance of the man
who cannot understand the chemistry
most of his time in evangelical work.

A MORAL.
AN ILLUSTRATION WITH
A man ’came into this church one
night, and lie was intoxicated, and at
an utterance of the pulpit he said in a
subdued tone: “That’S a’ lie.” An
officer of the church tapped him on
the shoulder and said: “You must be
silent, or you must go out” The next
night that stranger came, afifl he was
converted to God. Ho was in the
liquor business. He resigned the busi
ness. The next day be sent back the
samples that had just ; been sent him.
He began to love tliat which he hated.
I baptized him by immersion in tho
babtistry under this platform. A large
salary was .offered him if he would re
turn to liis former business. He de
clined it. Ho would rather suffer
with Jesus Christ than bo prospered
in tho world. Ho wrote home-u letter
to his Christian mother. Tho Chris
tian mother wrote back congratulat
ing him, and said: “If in tho change
of your business you have lack of
-means come homo; you are always
welcome home.”' He told of his con
version to a dissolute companion. The
dissolute companion »gaid: “Well, if
you have become u‘Christian, you liad
better go over and talk to that dying
girL She is dying with quick con
sumption iu that house.” Tho new
convert went there. All the sur
roundings were dissolute. He told the
dying girl that Jesus would
save her. “Oh,” said, she, “that can’t
be, that can’t be I What makes you
tlnnk so?” “I have it here iu a book
in my pocket,” he replied. He pulled
outaNew Testament She said: “Show
it to me; if I can be saved, show it to
me in that book.” Ho said: “I have
neglected this book as you have neg
lected it for many years, and I don’t
know where to firnf it, but I know it is
somewhere between tbe lids.” Then
ho began to turn over the leaves, and
strange and beautiful to say, bis eye
struck upon this passage: “Neither do
I condemn thee; go and sin no more.”
§ he said: “It isn’t possible that is
leret” “Yes,” lie said, “that is there.”
He held it up ueforelier dying eyes, and
shosaid: “Oh, yes, I see it for myself; I
accept the promise: ‘Neither do I con
demn thee, go and sin no more.”’ In
a few lioursher spirit sped away to the
Lord that gave it, and the new con
vert preached the funeral sermon.
The man who a few days before had
been a blasphemer and a drunkard
and a hater of all .that was good, he
preached the* sermon. That is regen
eration; that is regeneration 1 If there
are any dry husks of technicality in
that, where are they? All made over
again by the power of the grace of
of creeds and have the consequent em
bittered stomach. “Vicarious sacri
fice! Let every man suffer for-him-
self. Whv do 1 want Christ to suffer
for me? I’ll suffer for myself an d

at the idea of vicarious sacrifice, while
they admire it everywhere else except
in Christ People see its beauty when

and told the ship owners and the ship
commanders wnat a great change
had been wrought in lnm. and scores
and scores have been brought to
God through his instrumentality.
A little while after his conversion
ho was on ship off Cape Hatteras in a
thick and prolonged fog, and they
were at their wits’ ends and knew not
what to do, the ship drifting about
hither and thither, and they lost their

for the salvation of the ship, and God
revealed it to him while he was on his

THESK DOCTRINES WERE NOT MADE TO
BE SCOFFED AT.
Be it ours to admire and adore these
doctrines at which others jeer. Oh,
the depths of the riches both of the
wisdom and knowledge of God! How
unsearchable is his wisdom,- and his
ways are past finding outl Oh, the
height, the depth, the length, the

earnest prayers go out in behalf of all
those wno scoff at these doctrines of
grace. When the London plague was
raging, in tho vear 1665, there was a
hotel near the chief burial plope that
excited much comment England
was in flight and bereavement
Tho dead carls went through
the streets day and night, and
the cry: “Bring out your dead 1” was
answered by the bringing out of the
forms of the loved ones, and they
were put twenty or thirty in a cart,
and tne wagons went on to the ceme
tery ; and theso dead were not buried
in graves, but in great trenches,
in great pits, in one pit eleven hun-
and fourteen burials 1 The
would come up with their
great burden of twenty or thirty
to the mouth of the pit. and the
front of the cart was lifted and the
dead shot into the pit. All the
churches in London were open
for prayer day and night, and
England was in a great anguish.
At that very time, at a hotel, at
a wayside inii near the chief burial
place, there was a group of hardened
men, who sat day after day and night
after night blaspheming God and imi-
ning through the fog, and the
who had jeered ana laughed

was
stunned and fell to the deck. Tho
fog lifted. Yonder was Cape Hatteras

to the bunal place. These men sat
there day after day and night after
night, and they scoffed at men, and
thev scoffed at women, and they
scoffed at God. But after a while <5ne
of them was struck with the
plaguo, and in two weeks all of the
group were down in the trench
from the margin of which they
had uttered their ribaldry. My
friends, a greater plague is abroad in
the world. Millions have died of it.
Millions are smitten with it now.
Plaguo of sin, plaguo. of sorrow,
plague of wretchedness, plague of woe.
And consecrated women and men
from all Christendom are going out
trying to stay the plague and allevi
ate the anguish, and there is a group
of men in this country base enough to
sit and deride the work. They scoff
at the Bible, and they scoff at
evangelism, and they scoff at Jesus
Christ, and they scoff at God. If

LUDDEN & BAT
SOUTHERN MUSIC HOUSE,
At a meeting of the American Orni
thologists’ union, Ernest E. Thompson,
of Canada, said* that some birds, espe
cially sparrows, have ventriloquial
powers. Birds when surprised in the
act of singing will be silent for a mo
ment, ana then give forth a faint song
that-seems to come from a distance,
though the singer be not farther than
ten feet away. Thrushes and robins,
the lecturer said, also have this power.
Tho chief object of the New York
Working Women’s Protective union
is to sec that working women are paid
for their work. Most of the officers
connected with the union give their
services gratuitously, and through
their efforts many friendless working
girls have been enabled to secure the
salaries out of which dishonest em
ployers and “confidence" business
men would have cheated them.
